When One in Thought

When One in Thought

When one in thought, feels justified to take another’s life,
Be it any life, for any reason,
It is very sad, because these feelings have been built upon and with hate,
The hate of indifference or dislike for another's way of life.
Just like the days of old, years ago,
They come from the dark of the heart,
Wrapped in Backroom or Bar Room Justification,

From the heart of the worldly beliefs of humanity,
And the sad thing is, these feelings,
Are heard and come from Christians as well today,
To hurt or take the life of another,
Because they feel it is either Worldly or Biblically justified. 

It is sad, for God I know does not plan hate! 

It is very sad when people build upon hate, 

Until it turns, them inside out and they hurt or kill another. 

Many do not have the mental capacity to understand, 

To live with others and face life daily with each other. 

When they feel within, 

That it is different from what they hear and want to believe and follow, 

For they within want to follow God's Way or even another's. 

Somehow, they twist everything mentally until they brake within, 

Because of the hurt, built over time within, that turns to hate, 

That covers and removes all Love then from within them, 

And destroys everything within and changes them. 

It is not out of love, that another hurts or takes another’s life this way, 

Or reach out to destroy their character to take from another in word or deed. 

By God's Word, I do not believe in the taking of another’s life, especially the unborn, 

However, I know at times, because of circumstances beyond one’s control, 

Because, of the health of another, 

Or the actions of a Nation at war or another against others, 

Then and only to protect the health or life of a loved one or another. 

But hate is hate when another hurts or takes another’s life, 

Because of the "hate of indifference or dislike" within that guides them. 

Lord, I pray, change us, for I believe that God in His time will make all things right, 

Either in this life as He builds and changes us in Love, 

Or before Him on Judgment Day.  Amen

Lord, I pray everyday, by my Faith in knowing You, the Truth, 

Guide my walk of life and lead to teach me,
